About me

People often find the same problems happening again and again - even those who have been in therapy before. These patterns are rarely random and I believe that if we explore their causes, we will find the way to positive and long-lasting change.

You may not even know what is wrong, just that something doesn't feel right, and that you want to talk this through.

Working with individuals and couples, I integrate a wide range of therapies rather than work from a fixed approach. I believe that this freedom allows my clients and I the greatest opportunities for positive change.

My professional training, therapeutic and life experience means I can offer you an impartial ear, the ability to examine issues from a fresh angle and a calm, neutral, non-judgemental environment.
